It’s the day of love.. even if you are single, and don’t have that significant other to bring you flowers, chocolates, whatever it may be, you can still embrace the day of LOVE.. 🙂
I have this annual tradition of buying each kid Valentine gifts.. I present them with their special gift bags in the morning before school. They do enjoy them.. I think…
This year, I didn’t want to give much candy, so I walked the aisles of Dollar General to be more creative. yes.. I went to Dollar General. They have actually come a long way, and have some of the cutest, unique little gifts for Valentine’s Day. So, I loaded up.
Allie received a couple of small notepads, bookmark, slippers, a cute animal shaped chocolate, with a little saying on it, and a mini calendar.
Autumn received the book “Little Women,” a cute animal shaped chocolate, with a little saying on it, and some slippers.
Austin received the book “Tom Sawyer,” a truck shaped chocolate bar, earbuds, and a mini calendar.
Adam received the book “Black Beauty,” a truck shaped chocolate bar, a stapler with some extra staples, and a mini calendar.
They all received a card from me, that each reflect their individual personalities.
I received “thank you’s” this morning from everyone, but Adam said, he really didn’t want the book.. Well, I will read it to him, and I hope he changes his mind, and likes it… it’s a classic, afterall.
Tonight, I plan on making heart shaped pizzas from scratch, I have sparkling pink and purple grape juice, Nothing Bundt Cakes – “bundtlets” and anything else we can come up with at home later.. probably watch a movie together.
It’s all about time together, relaxing, and enjoying the time.
They will grow up fast, and I won’t have them forever.
For all the crazy, chaotic times, we must make time for slow, calm, “no plans” kind of times.
Express the love…
All in a Day
